Met an illegal alien from Mexico last week. He works construction in California. Lives near Anaheim in a community of illegals. His son and daughter are US citizens, both licensed electricians. He hasn't been to Mexico for 40 years because he is afraid if he leaves he won't be able to come back. Never committed a crime (other than illegal status). Gets paid in cash. No drivers license. Drives occasionally for work. Not a gang member, rapist, etc. A pleasant, quiet, hard working man, just trying to make a living.
Should he be deported? Should he have a pathway to citizenship?
